Have to cancel again this week - March 1st

No rehearsals this week - so many of us are heading to the State Tournament.

Be sure to take time to practice and be ready to work hard next Friday!

No rehearsals or sewing classes tomorrow

Hope everyone will think to practice during the week - practicing is good, makes the directors happy :o)

Enjoy the snow, be safe!

Watch this blog for weather cancellation

This is the place to check for weather cancellations, in the event that we need to get that information out.

Word on that will be posted as soon as decisions are made.

Second Semester

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

The recital went very well, we were missing a few members, but were still able to pull if off.  Thanks to everyone that attended and endured the limited space.

Second semester begins on January 11th.  Tuition will be due in January.

Sewing classes will also begin in the 11th - same times.

Thanks to you all for sharing your students with us.  We have a great bunch of kids and parents!

Blessings!

Important change - recital date changed

We have yet one more recital change.  I can't remember a year that we have had to make a third change to have a recital.  I apologize for the constant changes and hope that the new day/time will work for everyone.

Due to several added conflicts, the recital will have to be moved to Friday, December 7th, starting at 10am.  We will meet at the Morris Center, where our weekly rehearsals take place.

On the recital day, the students need to arrive at 9:30 to warm up and tune.  There is NO need to dress in concert black and white - this will be a very informal recital.

11:45 Percussion class:  please arrive at 9:15 to run through your piece.

The last rehearsal for this semester will be November 30th.

I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Thanksgiving.

Recital set for December 3

The Encore groups will perform at a recital on December 3, at 7pm.  The recital will be held at Community Bible Church in Lawrence.

All members are asked to dress in concert black and white.  They need to arrive at the church by 6:30 to tune and warm up.

Instrumental students need to bring their music and music stands that evening.

If you have any questions, please email me directly.

It has been a pleasure to work with your kids this semester.  Second semester will begin on January 11th.

Thanks!

Rehearsals begin September 7th

We are so excited about beginning this rehearsal year.  New families have joined us, a new group (Jazz II) has been formed, percussion ensemble has been successful and will continue, and all the other groups will be up and running with a lot of talent!

Please note rehearsal time changes - noted on the right-hand side of this site - under "schedule".

This affects Jazz II, both strings groups, and adv/jazz I band, extending the day to accommodate all the groups.

I need some help from parents this year, someone in each group to hang around to be an extra set of eyes and ears.  Several parents can take turns, if that helps.  We don't expect a parent to sit in on a rehearsal that their student isn't in - just hanging around to supervise if need be during your child's rehearsal.

My husband fell off a ladder and is home-bound for 12 weeks or more, plus has a lot of physical therapy to do.  I need to run home a few times throughout the day on Friday, to check on him.

I will offer sewing classes this year - if you need information about that, email me at hsmom@sbcglobal.net for more information - OR check out the sewing site at sewingwithmrsbachert.blogspot.com

Hope everyone is enjoying the last bit of summer - it went by way too fast for my liking!

Blessings,

Martha
